Am running the nosram pearl ESC and Pure motors which have been back to schumacher and no problems were found, also had similar problems when using a borrowed speedpassion motor and a V2Pearl ESC.


Have started on kit (losi manual and electrics manual) recommended gearing and fluctuated a tooth up and down with no real luck.

It's running in mid motor format, with the ESC mounted up front behind the servo. Everything runs nice and free in the car so I know it's not through excessive drag. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and what they did to cure it?

I think it's a lack of airflow under the kit shell.


If anyone is running a Nosram Pure 6.5 or 8.5 on grass/astro I would be interested to know what gearing you are running together with ESC settings for Nosram Pearl ISTC as I seem to be going in circles.


Cheers in advance.
I'm not sure your cogging is caused by heat Jon, it was doing it Sunday at the end of the first lap, cool day too. If anything it sounded worse then it has done.
